Draw a Dog Head

Stuck drawing cartoons of dog faces and dogs? Have you ever stared at your dog or other people's dogs and wished that your drawings could be that realistic? Well, chances are they won't be, but you can draw a good dog without going berserk over tiny details. Do you want to draw a Labrador? Dalmatian?

Steps

Circle Method

  1. Draw a circle.
  2. Add an oval to both sides of the first circle you made.
  3. Make two small ovals in the first circle you drew.
  4. Shade one fourth of each oval.
  5. Draw a mouth in the first circle.
  6. Draw a rounded triangle in the middle and under the two small ovals.
  7. Color the dog what ever color you want the dog to be.
  8. Add marking on to it too if you want.
  9. You can use this method for different kinds of dogs too.

Triangle Method

  1. Draw a rounded, upside-down triangle. Leave out the bottom (which should actually be the top) line. This will be an ear.
  2. Add a muzzle, anyway you want. Start about half-way down the triangle you drew.
  3. Draw another rounded, upside down triangle about half-way down the muzzle to be the second ear.
  4. Connect the right corner of the right triangle to the left corner of the left triangle.
  5. Add eyes, and a nose. A mouth usually doesn't look good on the type of dog you're drawing.

Tips

  • Draw little dots sort of next to the mouth lines in a triangle and then put whiskers.
  • Be creative, name your dog and make people guess what dog breed they think it is.
  • Add little lines to make fur.

Warnings

  • This is only for the head, try a different search if you are looking for one on how to draw the whole dog
